- W4379391060 abstract "Chapter 4 examines the pilgrimage as a political symbol of decolonisation in Nigeria through the figure of Sir Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of Nigeria’s Northern Region from 1954 to 1966. A large part of his political positioning centred on his role as a defender of Islam, and proponent of an agenda of ‘northernisation’ that sought to bring political and economic parity to the North. From the late 1950s, his government embarked on a series of reforms to streamline the pilgrimage and, in particular, to promote undertaking the journey by air. Bello undertook his first Hajj in 1955, and performed it every year save one for the rest of his life. Indeed, Bello’s flights to the Hijaz every year became political acts in their own right: he filled his plane each year with a wide array of allies and notables, who could forever claim to have been part of the ‘VIP airlift’. In this way, Bello and the Northern People’s Congress transformed the image of the pilgrimage from a journey conducted in penury over years to one undertaken in relative comfort as a symbol of a modernising, but still proudly Islamic, Nigerian identity." @default.
